Minted Listings – Creating a Table Around Highlighted JavaScript Code

listingsmintedsourcecode

I would like to create a block around javascript code in latex.

I use minted package for format highlighting.

Here is my example code:

\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage{minted}

%opening

\begin{document}

\begin{listing}[H]
\begin{minted}{js}
var http = require("http");
    http.createServer(function(request, response) {
        response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
        response.end();
    }).listen(8080);
\end{minted}
\caption{Example of a listing.}
\end{listing}

\end{document}

And I get the output as this

I would like to create a block around the code. Or a table embedding the code.

Any help is really appreciated.

And one more thing, whenever I run the above example on TexmakerX, I get an error Package 

minted Error: You must invoke LaTeX with the -shell-escape flag

But when I run it in the cmd, using 

pdflatex -shell-escape filename

it seems to work fine.

How can I make it run in Texmakerx?

Do you want to achieve something like this?

Do you mean you want to put a frame around your code? You have to use the frame option. You can choose from the values none (the default), leftline, topline, bottomline, lines, single.

\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage{minted}

%opening

\begin{document}

\begin{listing}[H]
\begin{minted}[frame=single]{js}
var http = require("http");
    http.createServer(function(request, response) {
        response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
        response.end();
    }).listen(8080);
\end{minted}
\caption{Example of a listing.}
\end{listing}

\end{document}
